FAL while I wait

I wasn't going to but what the heck?! I might as well list some things I'd like to get finished and join in the Finish-A-Long hosted by Leanne!

So inevitably the first thing I'd like finished is this pregnancy. What, doesn't that count?! Well I still want it done ;)

Realistically once the bub arrives I don't know how I will sew (I'd like to think I'll master multitasking, quilting and breastfeeding simultaneously but there's that slight concern about needles, rotary cutters etc. Damn it!) but should I have any spare time at all I would love to get these finished...

Rolling over from the last FAL:

- Blogger's BOM quilt- quilt top still needs borders (all nice and wrinkly because it's been folded up on my desk!)

- HFWYG? QAL quilt - I am way behind because it's hard to sit at the machine for long but hopefully once the bump has reduced I might get back to those gorgeous blocks!

Also in piles on my sewing desk:

- Tooth Fairy cushions - I have a stack of three designs all 'bondawebbed' and ready to applique, just need to do it!

- The Braid Quilt - again this just needs borders

So we shall see. No pressure. Obviously taking care of children is my priority but there may just be the odd hour when one is at school, one is at playgroup (or Granny's house!) and one is sleeping. Finger's crossed hey?

Speaking of kids, last night over dinner we were trying to explain what wishes are... here's the three wishes they'd each ask for from a genie (total 'mum' style I wrote them down immediately!):

He is 4 and she is 3 and this list just perfectly sums up their little personalities!

Oh that is cute. I love that your son thinks of you first, and that your daughter is in such a fantasy world! Mine was like that. Oddly, I got more sewing done when my kids were babies. Not newborns, but older, settled babies who would have good sized afternoon sleeps. Now my youngest is 3 the afternoon sleep is a thing of the past, and so are really productive afternoons! I play fetch him food!

Their lists are so sweet! I especially love Joan's wish to ride on a butterfly. :)

Let me know if you discover the secret to finding sewing time with three little ones in the house. :) So far I've only been able to sneak in a bit during naptime (only on school days) and at night. But even that only works out every few days.

Oh Joans wishes remind me of Beccy when she was younger, that is totally what she would have wished for too. In fact she used to get letters from the tooth fairy who rode butterflies rather than horses. Love that Fred wants the baby out now
